Workspace/Omap4/Pandaboard/History

Solved issues

• OpenGL app crash with SGX: launching an app works first time, but all subsequent attempts fail. Same cause: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-ubuntu/+bug/1034178

* Fixed by updating to pvr-omap4-1.9.0.7.1.5

• Full Nemo installation, after lock screen comes up, fails with:

Xorg invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x44d0, order=2, oom_adj=0, oom_score_adj=0
full log: http://pastie.org/5668605

Less important:

• Moving mouse too early in in Xorg's boot, renders it unmovable - reconnect the cable
• 15/1/2013 FIXED: When mouse cursor is shown, any animation is flickering when mouse is moving
• 11/1/2013 WORKAROUNDED: Impossible to launch qmlcalc twice (or flickr-qml thrice), this what's spat (and qmlcalc dies):

[  121.403869] omapdrm omapdrm.0: already a pending flip

• 11/1/2013 FIXED: Currently, launching any OpenGL app (tested with flickr-qml, qmlcalc and duicontrolpanel) from within lipstick kills Xorg while applauncherd is boosting it for Qt+GLES. Fix: http://www.hastebin.com/notadehohi.coffee

Progress log (newest first)

• 13/5/2013 Pandaboard ES. confirmed to boot fine to nemo. led D1 flashing (2 quick flashes), continuously.

• 15/1/2013 (sledge) OpenGL app crash with SGX: Jake9xx gave a tmp workaround http://pastie.org/5669270 , but it does not work
• 11/1/2013 (sledge) OpenGL app crash with SGX: looking into qmlcalc launch issues. flickr-qml also spits same old

[   54.713897] flickr-qml (214): /proc/214/oom_adj is deprecated, please use /proc/214/oom_score_adj instead.

and now also

[   57.826049] omapdrm omapdrm.0: already a pending flip

but does not crash. Xorg does not crash either (thanks to the previous fix)

qmlcalc also spits oom and "already a pending flip" however crashes (after first successful launch though!), more clues from the app booster stage:

• 11/1/2013 (sledge) TODO: what causes out of memory? Reduce full Nemo installation package-by-package, irrelevant (GSM-related etc) ones first
  • Apparently, having on top of minimal-lipstick installed meegotouch-systemui (with its deps), it's triggering OOM (itself or one of its deps: connman-qt contextkit-plugin-cellular contextkit-plugin-connman libiodata libiphb libqmlog qmsystem timed tzdata-timed)

Installation

Full Nemo installation is not working (if you choose @Nemo Complete pattern). Most often while being booted it ends up running out of memory: Xorg rapidly increasing in memory usage, reaching 800MB in ~5seconds, and everything dies.
